Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been urged to publicly back their preferred US Presidential candidate by a royal expert – but she's also shared why it's unlikely to happen
With the US Presidential election just weeks away, stars are taking to social media to endorse their favourite candidates, whether it's Republican former President Donald Trump or current Democratic vice president Kamala Harris . Yet, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have kept very quiet on who they're rooting for, despite encouraging Americans to vote in a recent Archewell Foundation statement.
But Jennie went on to suggest their royal ties might be holding them back, saying: "I suppose it is still controversial for a member of the Royal Family, even a non-working and estranged one, to meddle in politics. Also American people might consider it extremely presumptuous of a British Prince to try to influence a US election.
Their move has been criticised by some, with PR expert Renae Smith of publicity firm The Atticism, telling the Express that she believes the couple have "worked hard to drive home their position as independent global figures, so this statement falls in line with the brand they've been working to build - eg that they do what they want, without any thought towards royal guidelines or customs".
She went on to say that she also thought Meghan should still speak up, saying: "But I can't see any good reason for Meghan to stay silent about her allegiance. She has made her views about Trump extremely clear in the past. Perhaps they just don't want all the grief that would inevitably come from them endorsing a candidate."
